Talking Storage
Key note at CloudFest 2023
SAVE THE DATE: Tuesday, March 21st, 23 | 3 PM to 3:30 PM
The recent release of the Toshiba MG10 20TB Hard Drive has been a milestone within the HDD technology evolution, so we are taking this opportunity to
• look back at 40 years of HDD history
• dare to extrapolate up to 40 years of HDD future inventions
Ultimately, our HDDs have proven resilience, breaking technological boundaries over decades and they will continue to be a major contributor to resilient cloud technologies for many years to come.

Review
About 40 years ago, the first PCs were equipped with hard disk drives (HDDs) – large drives that had a storage capacity of just 20 Megabytes. However, the technology shrank rapidly in terms of physical size, while storage capacities grew. The very smallest models have since disappeared from the market, but the demand for ever-increasing capacity continues unabated. Current HDDs can hold up to 20 Terabytes – a million times as much memory as those early PCs.
MG Series
The enterprise environment demand more and with the MG Series you get it. Each member of the series has a workload rating of 550 TB/year, which is around ten times higher than an average desktop hard disk drive. This performance is available at any time of the day or night, as 24/7 operation also comes as standard.
AL Series
When you have mission-critical applications you need storage solutions that meet your needs. Toshiba’s Enterprise Performance Hard Drive – AL Series delivers high storage densities with rapid data transfer speed, backed up by a 5-year warranty. You can trust the AL Series to deliver 24/7 in the most demanding high-performance server and storage systems.
